In El Médano on Tenerife stands a massive, rusted structure of reinforcing bars, the remains of an experimental project using concentrated sunlight. The facility was intended to be a giant mirror but was never completed.
A local resident now plans to use this structure as a radio telescope to receive signals from the universe. This is a hobbyist initiative, educational and recreational in nature, rather than a professional scientific venture.
